So I have many ceiling fans throughout my home that are not connected to a conventional switch - they came with a remote that acts as the switch, in each case. If I want to HomeKit these fans, am I SOL?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Insteon 2475F FanLinc Insteon Dual-Band Ceiling Fan and Light Controller https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00715SU4A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_XsMpAbVKNPCZ9

My fans have switches so I just used HomeKit switches. However the above was suggested to me combined with their hub.

However don’t just order that without further research. Since I didn’t use it I don’t know if that is specifically the right part or anything about the Insteon system in general nor it’s integration with HomeKit. At a glance using those fan controllers + one of their hub should work though I assume.

Thank you so much for taking the time, Cynics. This sounds like the most optimal solution. I wish Lutron had a Caseta product that did this - but this will work fine, I think.
Thank you very much again.
